Better than expected
I hadn’t heard much about this film and was after a horror film to round off my evening, so thought I’d give this one a go on Netflix and was actually pleasantly surprised. It’s not the best horror I’ve ever seen but it sure isn’t the worst either. It starts off in one direction and by the end has completely flipped into a plot that you weren’t expecting, and for the better.

There are good performances in this although I do think Lily Tomlin was underused, as was Sadie Sink from Stranger Things. The effects are mostly good but there are some slightly dodgy ones at parts. Overall this is just a decent watchable horror that succeeds mainly because it doesn’t end the way you’d expect.

Storyline
I normally keep my distance from books that get a lot of hype because, let's be honest, they don't usually deserve it. Even though this book kept popping up all over my feed, the synopsis intrigued me enough to give it a chance.

It's been a while since I've flown through a book. Idk why, but lately it takes me weeks, even if I am enjoying it. The documentary format of this book was original and kept me drawn in. It was like binge watching a docuseries on Netflix. I can't wait to see how the show will come to life and look forward to actually hearing the songs.

If you are looking for your next read, I would definitely recommend Daisy Jones & the Six.

Little Evil is essentially a comedy version of The Omen, an ok idea on paper, and an ok idea in its execution. Everything about is just ok. It's an easy to watch piece of fluff.

I like Evangeline Lilly, I can tolerate Adam Scott, and Owen Atlas is a decent enough evil little shit. Clancy Brown appears as the primary antagonist but his talent is unfortunately wasted here. I ALWAYS enjoy Donal Faison, but he's not given much to do which is a shame.

The scares are non existent, but the comedy is occasionally funny, and just about carries the movie to an entertaining enough level

There's nothing inherently bad about Little Evil, it's just a bit forgettable. Probably worth a one off viewing if you're subscribed to Netflix.

Homeward bound
Chilled out for the night, myself and my girlfriend decided to route through Netflix and being a dog lover she wanted to watch this...

A dogs way home is a genuine piece of art in the form of a dogs survival from it's own perspective.
The story follows Bella, an illegal breed of dog with a heart of Gold, who after being temporarily rehomed for her safety, runs away and decides to make her way home...
Through danger and panic, love and loss.

A beautiful story of love and loyalty between man and dog that manages to pull on every heart string, playing an orchestra of the soul, showing that animal's are intelligent and often misunderstood creatures that just want to be loved.

The Wrong Everything
Wow this was bad. Probably the worst Happy Madison movie I've seen and that's saying a lot. The plot itself is pretty mediocre and harmless. Most of the frustration comes from Missy's character. This character single handedly ruined the movie. I don't blame Lauren Lapkus and think she did a decent job acting wise. Missy was written to be such an unlikeable character though. I understand that's what was intended but they take it way too far. This might be free on Netflix but it's not worth the time.

It's getting harder and harder to find anything that resembles a new and fresh idea in Hollywood these days. In the Shadow of the Moon definitely fits that bill.

There are loose ends added throughout the film right until the end that are all wrapped up quite beautifully in the final moments. There are excellent scenes and story arcs that occur regularly and allow the viewer to become completely engrossed in the mental twinings of the main protagonist. Interestingly, the movie ultimately ends up stretching the definition of the word protagonist and reminds us that we are sometimes looking at more than one, although they appear to be on opposite sides of the storyline.

Definitely give this a go. It's a Netflix original (one of the best I've seen).
